St John's Church, a chapel of ease of St Mary, Putney, was consecrated in 1859; damaged by enemy action in 1944, it was reopened in September 1948. In September 1972, when parish activities were centred at St Mary's, St John's remained as a chapel of ease. After the fire at St Mary's in June 1973, this position was reversed, St John's becoming the pro-parish Church. In May 1977 it was leased to the Polish Roman Catholic Church, and All Saints Lower Common, the other chapel of ease, took its place as pro-parish Church.
